So far only .la files get correctly converted to absolute paths in the GIR file. However if there are .so files which depend on a particular library using GI, they still get only the basename of the .so file. This improves on the existing absolute_shlib_path.patch not only figuring out the absolute path of .so files but also falling back on the absolute path of $out/lib (or $lib/lib with multiple outputs) of the current build. With this, we should no longer need to resort to setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH for all programs that use GI libraries. I'm merging this because after more than a month no issues came up so far.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
